The Academy Committee offers support and challenge in the areas of:

• The culture, vision and ethos of the school
• Safeguarding
• The personal development and welfare of pupils and staff
• Behaviour and attendance
• Extra-curricular provision
• Engagement and promotion of the school within the local community
• School-based policies
• Staff appointments

Governors meet three times a term to monitor and review school improvement priorities. The monitoring and review meetings are broken up into pupils and provision, finance & health and safety, which then leads to Full Governing Body meetings.

The school improvement priorities can be found in the school development plan and each governor has a responsibility for monitoring and evaluating a specific focus within the plan. Therefore governors will make monitoring visits throughout the school year.
